Applying for a Disabled Facilities Grant in England and Wales

Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) are for adaptations to a disabled person's home, enabling them to live comfortably and independently. Visit the GOV.UK website for information about the DFG, to apply, what you will receive and the eligibility criteria.

Who can apply?

A disabled person living in their own home, on any type of tenancy, can apply. You can also apply on behalf of someone who is disabled. You must intend to live in the home for the next five years.
